Mapping crime
Police forces in various cities of the United States have successfully adopted crime mapping as a new tool in crime busting. A three-day conference on 'crime mapping' held recently at the picturesque south Brazilian town of Belo Horizonte - the third largest in the country after Sao Paulo and Rio with a population of nearly three million - offered insights into a new tool that is available for analysing crime and drawing up new field strategies. Chainey should know what he is talking about as he has several years of experience in working on crime mapping applications with police forces and Community Safety Partnerships in the United Kingdom. During my recent visit to the Philadelphia Police crime mapping section, I had a brief chat with a young software consultant running the outfit along with a few others.
